Looking at the list of springs available for the coupe and knowing how good H&R kit is I'm surprised I've not read anyone having tried these springs. Is anyone out there running around with these fitted ? I just wondered if they were as harsh as the Eibachs ? At £224 they still aren't cheap but H&R have always been very good quality kit and are price wise in direct competition to the Eibach kit. There is even a set for Taz Gold Plated Springs at a reasonable £1570  Oh and at 35mm they offer an extra 5mm lowering over the Eibach kit ! Thats 5 whole milimeters guys, it makes a difference !

My expectations are high for the H&R's (as I mentioned, I had them on my 911 and they were great). There must be a better spring for our cars than the Eibachs.

That's what I was thinking My only concern is they are 5mm lower than the Eibachs so could actually be stiffer but there is only one way to find out I guess. I will be ordering some osrav front dampers and keeping the Leda rears as they are superb and easy to adjust, I think I'll go for these H&R springs and give them a try, they should get the car as low as it is now but give me some more suspension travel.

When you say 1"of travel, do you mean bump travel or do you mean droop or total travel?
